The Denver Post: Colorado lawmakers have killed a measure that would’ve prohibited local police from hiding their identities while also giving them the explicit authority to step in when federal agents use excessive force.

In another vote, the House’s Judiciary Committee narrowly advanced a second immigration-related bill during the meeting, which stretched into Tuesday night. That bill would broadly seek more transparency and oversight of some federal activities in the state.

The defeat of House Bill 1275 came after several hours of testimony on both measures. HB-1275 was backed by progressive and immigrant-rights organizations, but it was opposed by law enforcement groups.
